It isn’t a way to get free stuff from Amazon, but the money-saving benefits are nice.

What Are Amazon Prime Samples?

Amazon Prime Samples is a risk-free way to try a new product without wasting too much money on it. You can buy a sample from anywhere between $2 and $4. These dollars work like a discount when you buy the full-sized product.

Let’s say you want to buy a skin care cream from Amazon. Instead of spending double digits on a product you might not like, you can buy a cheap sample for a few dollars. This gives you credit equal to the price you paid for the sample, and this credit can be put towards a purchase of a regular actual skin care cream shipped by Amazon.

It’s a lot like redeeming any other Amazon credit. Most of the samples right now are offered from the beauty products, food and beverages, sports nutrition, and personal care categories.
